WILLIAM M. PEGBAM, OF BALTIMORE, MARYLAND.

Specification forming part of Letters Patent No. 132,773, dated November 5, 1872.

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, WM. M. PEGRAM, of Baltimore, in the county of Baltimore and State of Maryland, have invented an Instrument for Scrubbing and Polishing, of which the following is a specification:

The nature of my invention is fully represented in the accompanying drawing, to which reference is made.

Figure 1 is a perspective View Fig. 2 a transverse section and Fig. 3 a plain surface of base.

A, in Fig. 1, represents a solid block of hard Wood, ten inches long by three and onefourth inches upper surface and three and one-half inches at the base. B, in Fig. 1, represents a cork-bottom ten inches long by three and onehalf inches wide and three-fourths of an inch thick, which is firmly glued to block A. O, in Fig.1, is a handle, (represented as broken off,) of any desired-length, fitting into block A by means of a socket. A, in Fig. 2, represents a transverse see on of block A, Fig. 1, with section B of cork-bottom B, Fig. 1, attached, with handle U, in socket D. B, Fig. 3, represents the plain surface of base of cork-b. ttom, B, Fig. 1, being tcn by three and onehalf inches.

The instrument complete, as in Fig. 1, is specially adapted to the purpose designed, viz., scrubbing and polishing floors or any wood surface, whether oiled, waxed, or varnished, the cork-bottom partaking of just sufficient of the oil, wax, or varnish, or whatever may be used, to give itself a polish, which, from the peculiar adhesive property of cork, it returns to, the object scrubbed, giving it a hard, smooth polish.

What I claim as my invention, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is-

The combination of solid block A, the handle (J, the bottom of cork B, to the use of scrubbing and polishing any wood surface on which oil, wax, varnish, or any other substance is used.

WM. M. PEGRAM.
